She spoke through a sweet, white-toothed mouth, with wine within,
It spoke of a jug wherein is wine,
Mingled there with honeyed saliva.
By the plashing of honey wherein is splash;

And upon that mouth are two gates of agate,
And upon the jug a seal of musk -
Guarding the pearls so that none are lost,
Two guards keeping the pearl that it be not lost.

Beneath an emerald lock that resembles
Under a lock of emeralds telling
A beardless youth’s mustache as he begins to mature.
Of him who drinks the ruby at the rinsing.
